Stephanie Graham: Assistant Art Director
Doughboy, 11x14, 2018. Film Photographic Print
I love working in the art department, bringing characters' worlds to life as an art director with experience in film, photography, and performance. My passion lies in crafting authentic, relatable visuals for compelling narratives.
Over a decade on set, I’ve honed my expertise in logistics and aesthetics. I thrive in collaborative teams, directing, producing, and wielding Excel like a pro.
Let's connect and discuss how I can contribute to your next project!
A Little About Me and My Background:
I grew up in Schaumburg, a northwest suburb of Chicago shaped by malls, chain stores, and sprawling parking lots. As an only child, I learned early how to entertain myself — inventing worlds in the backyard, staging imaginary scenarios, and finding creativity in ordinary places.
I later studied Cinematography and Photography at Columbia College Chicago. Now based on the South Side of Chicago, I spend much of my time in the studio developing projects across film, conversation, and design.
Outside of work, I host the podcast noseyAF and run Graham Cracker Pins, a tiny enamel pin shop. When I’m not making things, I’m probably watching movies, meeting friends for tacos, or defending my love of Red Lobster.
